Ezra asks – I’ve just started GMing a Pathfinder campaign (we’re one session in), and the PCs have rolled for their stats. However, one player is just really really lucky, and is good at everything (think 18s and 20s). He’s better than the other players at everything, so they just feel useless. For any given …

Robin asks – I’m the GM of a campaign in the Eberron D&D setting. In one of the early sessions, the party came across (and got betrayed by) an artificer named Hargrave. They confronted him in his house and, unexpectedly, the battle went really sideways for the players and all four characters were wiped out. …

Time to fight water and friends of water. This is a 5e Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in Northwestern Drunkeros and DMed by Tim Lanning. This is all possible due to the wonderful folks who support our Patreon. Thank you! This week we are joined by Matthew Morris (@matthewmmorris), Courtney Spurlin (@C_A_Spurlin), and Matt Spurlin (@punk1290), Josh Scalf (@jwscalf) …

Matt asks – I’m planning a campaign, and it’ll be the third one I’ve run. The first two were very long – the first lasted three years and the second is still going on after two years. I don’t want this game to last as long… but I’m not sure what the best way to …

Andy asks – I’m running a campaign for four friends. One of my friends, who I’ll call Lucas, is a good, friendly guy but is playing a character who is condescending and abrasive. Discussions about what to do in a certain situation as dominated by his character, who constantly mocks and belittles everyone else. I’ve …

Kevin asks – Some former players want to revisit an old campaign that we retired about four years ago. The problem is I can’t remember everything that happened. I still have the character sheets but my notes are really incomplete. How can I run a game if I don’t have a full recollection of what …

What do you do when your great leader falls sick to an unknown illness? Would you brave the dangers of Chult in order to save her? What if you knew you would find strange riddles and even stranger allies? Well, fair adventurers, we hope you packed an extra set of swamp bug repellent for …

Gene asks – I’m running a fifth edition D&D campaign that’s been going on for about two and a half years. We have five players but average three or four per session. One player, who I’ll call Jess, has hardly ever missed a session and so has more experience (and is two levels higher) than …

Larry asks – I’m pretty familiar with D&D via the computer golden age of Black Isle Studios, but just recently started playing PnP this year. So far I’ve been having a blast and I’m going to be DMing in the next few weeks for the first time as well! It’s a pretty varied group that …

Greg asks – The game I’m running has gone off the rails. Two of my players are certain that an NPC that they are supposed to like and trust are going to betray them. They think they’re outsmarting me by refusing to go along with his plans. This NPC (a nobleman that wants to raise …
